For those of you advocating pot control, I was probably planning to bet the turn and check through the river. It makes decisions easier than the check through turn, put one bet in on the river line, but I realize that I'll have to lay down a winning hand more often with this line. When he checkminraised me, I felt I could represent AK strongly and get him to fold whatever he was holding. If I call the checkraise, I have no bluff equity on the river and I get stacked or just end up folding anyway. If I decide to call the river after calling the checkminraise, I'm putting in almost as much money as with my line, but I'm calling it away instead of betting. I don't have a problem with getting my stack in on a marginal hand as long as I'm the one betting, but I'm not a fan of calling off 1000 bucks with second pair. Folding to the turn checkraise is kind of lame, and I really hate folding to minraises. Maybe it's better though.
